5.00It was an amazing tour. We got to see so many sites! I wish I had gone to the sites before so I could just chill and learn more of the background. The tour guide gave an immense amount of knowledge and was engaging and pointed out each site as we passed. I definitely will go again when I visit London! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Only worth it if you devote an extra 1/2 hour to get there early.

2.00The tour guide is very smart and knowledgeable. He was also entertaining, welcoming and humorous. The tour itself covers a good amount of historical stops. My only suggestion is that if there is a starting time, I don’t want to cut 30 mins of my vacation out to go and sit and wait on the bus. We arrived 10 mins prior to departure and every open air seat (a must in the evening in the hottest days on London record) was already taken. The entire bottom of the bus was available, but you can’t see from there and there was no AC. So, for those tourists who were willing to show up 20-30 mins early, this tour might work for them. We were just 2, any other higher number would have been impossible, I understand it’s difficult to assign seats when making the ticket purchase, but if you’re promoting this as London City Lights tour there is no value in sitting below or under the front roof.
Fun in the rain!

4.00Sitting on top was amazing despite a few sprinkles. It was a great way to see many locations and know where to go back later for more in depth exploring.
Fun and Informative

1.00The information given where to meet up at was false. We couldn’t find the bus. Missed the tour. We even spent money on an uber to get there.
Worth it!

5.00I've taken many tours, but Emma stands out as truly exceptional. Her enthusiasm for London, combined with her deep local knowledge, transformed an evening bus tour into an engaging and memorable experience. She didn't just point out landmarks—she shared the heart and soul of the city. Emma's warmth, storytelling ability, and genuine passion made every moment enjoyable. If you're lucky enough to have Emma as your guide, you're in for something special. Also, seems recommended Nandos for dinner which was AMAZING
A lovely evening
